    Hi all,
    Lately the GT has been surging under what I would call light to moderate throttle. It only does it between about 1950-2400 rpm. If I step on it enough to rev up above 2500 rpm it completely goes away. When its surging the rpms go up and down between about 2000-2300. Any ideas what might be going on?
    Just replaced MAF for code, recent fuel filter. No codes since maf replacement.

    It could be a vacuum leak. With the car on, spray some carb cleaner around the intake manifolds and rubber hoses. If the idle changes, you've got a vac leak.
